A notification to the South Carolina Forestry Commission must be made for ALL outdoor debris burns. Visit scfc.gov/notify or call 1 (800) 986-5405

State law requires people who live in unincorporated areas to notify the Forestry Commission before conducting an outdoor debris burn. This notification system does not apply to prescribed burns. People who are planning larger types of agricultural and forestry burns must call (800) 777-3473 and speak to a Forestry Commission dispatcher who will walk them through the approval process.
